<TITLE>08. Par -</TITLE>L-11-5 Didn't Jesus say the queen of Sheba, the queen of the south, come all the way from the utmost parts of the world, setting on the back of a camel three months to see a gift of God, which was Solomon? He said, "Verily, I say unto you, a greater than Solomon is here." And I say tonight, that a greater than Solomon is here. It's the Person of Christ in the Holy Ghost performing and working, producing in the human life just as He did here.

L-11-6 God made you a place that could be emptied. Now, you can't just polish the old life up. You can't give the old life a facelift. She's got to die, and a new life be borned in her. She don't need some manicure, or whatever is it you put on your lips, that what the women do, you know, to make them look better. She don't need a hair curling. She don't need the lip stuff. The church needs a birth and a filling of the Holy Ghost. With her hair curled and her lips painted, she's still the same old girl. She still is a doubter. She still is--has her doubts. She has her fears. She's got herself all scrupled up, and she don't want to hear the truth because the thing that is within her won't let her do it. That's right. Certainly.
A woman of ill-fame on the streets, you walk up and tell her, "Hey, woman, you're wrong."
She'll say, "Tend to your own business."
And some stiff-necked church member is seven times worse than that woman. Tell her, "There's a great revival going on. You should come down. The Lord Jesus has manifested Hisself, healing the sick. People are so forth, receiving the Holy Spirit."
"Go on. What's the matter with you? I belong to church. I'm as good as you."
Why? She don't know any better.

L-12-2 But you speak to a decent woman and tell her it's wrong to do that; she'll say, "Amen, I know that is wrong." And you tell a man or woman that's borned again of the Spirit of God, that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is here for them to fill their hearts, they'll holler, "Amen" to it, for they feed and live on the Word of God. Certainly they do.
But you see, as it is in the world, so is it in the church. They're trying to build something. God don't need your help to build His Kingdom. God just wants you to preach the Word. He'll do the building. He's the Architect. He's got the plans laid out here.

L-12-4 All right, what will we do then? God made you a place to empty up of the things of the world. Now, nature put a spirit in there that makes you love the things of the world, and you know you are wrong when you do that. Whether you are a church member... You may be just as religious as you can be, and just as full of the devil with it. That's right.
If you doubt the Word of God, every word of it to be true, it's the devil telling you that. Certainly it is. That's rude, but it's time, high time, that some little sissified preacher got his rubber gloves off and preached the Gospel the way it's wrote, and quit trying to "petty" around with some seminary experience.

L-12-6 I always felt sorry for an incubator chicken. A chicken that was born in an incubator chirps, and ain't got no mammy to go to. That puts me in mind of a seminary preacher that don't know no more about the Word of God than what the seminary said: Chirping and no mammy to go to.
But when you are really born under the wings of His grace and power, you'll agree with every word He said is the truth. And when God moves in the supernatural, your heart will hunger right to it.
